First and Last
Have you seen
a life born
and someone dies?
The beginning and
end of life.
Memories buzzing
as guilt buts in
like gossipy neighbors
and regret comes
as if it’s not enough
that reality is harsh
and the loss is lost
in wishing away
a stain that stays
to remind us that all
wasn’t as we’d want
to make-believe.
If as wet trash
is how we feel
as we let tears flow
and we almost pee
crying the bad away
and laughing the good in
while reality fills us
with the truth of how
and what
love is.
